Thanks to everyone that came along - had a great time myself too 
Overall the weather was great, a few showers but all good.
Special thanks to Scant Mike for his local guiding, Andrew for getting it all sorted, D and the team for being there, and Evo Mark for mucho pig and beer
Good to put some faces to names too, see more of you out on the trails soon...

hi all
massive thanks everyone for a cool weekend! specially andrew, howard, mark (I had 5 burgers!) & stu (for not letting me drink   & Tim & the guys @ mojo & whoever arranged all the free swag (andrew?)
no problem taking the group out for the 2 rides. most of you seemed to enjoy it! Matt, I hope the nettle rash is dying down!  ... I couldnt believe it when I flatted while stationary on the satday ride! (tiny thorn slowee puncture)
After I'd said my good bys, Stu, I went looking to say thanks & goodbye in person but couldnt find you? I nursed my mate home (serves him right for riding a t-u-r-n-e-r after he mangled like 8 links of his chain on the cwmcarn climb!) .then I rode home across the moors in a hail storm!.. in june! weird
other special mentions, luke webber, you made me laff . look me up when you next want a scant & oboyle style ride I could also do with your photographic skills at some point
Jared graves, extremely down to earth & easy going guy. best of luck for the worlds & beijing! (ps theres a yeti road project on ebay in Oz currently
Looking forward to next year already! ...wherever it might be!?

big SHOUT to all the freaks that made it to Cwmcarn,to Howard and Andrew for the hard work, Mark for the support and to Yeti race team who made my sons weekend truly magic,his DJ is now even more precious with signatures of the team.If any body has some pictures of my little yeti tribe (you know the 2year old with the mad ginger curls on his stroller bike in the pit area could you pass them on..........Cheers Leigh (Chef)

As above really! It was truly a great weekend, I enjoyed more than last years and I loved that one!
That must have taken some organising and a big thanks to all of those involved. Loved the beer, wasn't so keen on the midges though!
Guided ride was brilliant, I have some pics and a video clip of Matt coming down the steep loose dirt decent. I will probably send on to Andrew to post up/forward.
Great to have the team there, like eveyone else I can't wait for next years.
Leigh,
I don't have any pics, but as we were a couple of pitches down, it was fun watching that bike whiz past!

Just like everyone else has said, a great weekend, hats off to Andrew, Howard and anyone else involved with organising the gathering. Thanks to all you yeti fans as well for turning up in your droves, (What is the collective term for a group of yeti riders).
The Saturday ride was superb, thanks to scant, i'll look out for you on retrobike, it was me with the scandium arc.
Lets hope the memories stay as long in the longer than the midge bites.

I'm with you lot. Absolutely brilliant weekend. Even if I did feel so hung over on the sunday. The DH track was real fun (big respect to Ian and the other DJ riders). We're going back soon.
Great bunch of people made some new ride buddies who we'll be sorting some days out with soon. The pro guys were really down to earth especially Ross Milan. The event was a real success. My buddy wants to book again for next year and he rides an Orange!
Thanks to all that were there and spoke to us Northern monkeys and a big thanks to Andrew and the rest of the organisers you must have worked your butts off.
See you in 2009. Oh yes the midge cream will be out next time.

I had an excellent time, riding, booze and Yeti's what more does a man need. So a huge thanks to Andrew, Howard, Stu and Mark for putting on the show. Maximum respect to you all.
Big thanks to everyone else for making it a great Tribemeet. I'm back in flat Copenhagen now with only my memories of mountains, midges and Yeti nerds to keep me going, oh and a few photos below.
Sorry no action shots but I was going to take these on Sunday, but the only action on Sunday was a alcohol content still in my body bigger than Threshers, which rendered me useless behind both camera and bike.
